M.Cahill to***conists opened in 1870 after the Great Famine, originally operating as a s***f and to***co factory. When the Lusitania sank in 1914, the transport of Virginia to***co leaf was impeded, leading the factory to concentrate on the grinding of s***f. The shop carried on selling to***co to the folk of the county while the s***f factory operated steadily up until the 1940s, when it closed i
ts doors for the business to remain solely as a retail outlet. Although the shop had at that point established itself as one of the proud heritage traditions of the Limerick region, it then continued to mature throughout the next 90 years, boasting supply to the smokers of three separate centuries. Since opening, millions have set foot inside the very same setting which sold well-earned ci**rs to the prodigal soldier, carefully crafted Peterson pipes to the 1920s land-toiler and Zippo lighters to the modern enthusiast, celebrating with pride their enjoyment of smoking quality to***co. In modern times, the shop's national reputation is one of a humble breeze on the hands of time. Loyal customers have nurtured a community within the shop’s walls which fortify its duty to those in return. Prominent around the locale, many tourists or elsewhere destined street wanderers along Wickham Street are welcomed by a distinguished aura. Through the specialising of Zippos, Cuban ci**rs, s***f and Peterson pipes, the interests of every smoker are catered for as much as the shelves do for the broad range of pipe to***cos and gift ideas, seldom found elsewhere. Along with being the oldest to***conist in the country, most find that just a fancy at our rich shop window exchanges in being delightfully assured to never leave Cahill’s empty handed, but serene with the savour of tradition.
